THE Signal Service Bureau has long
ceased to have any significance to the
country as an adjunct to the Military
Department, and action of the Sen.
ate in attaching it to the proposed
Department of Agriculture, is a wise
one. While the bureau was original.
ly organized as part of the War De-
partment, it has long since ceased to
have any relation to military matters
and is now managed almost wholly
in the interest of the agricultural
classes. 1t warns the farmers of ap'
preaching storms, freshets and
changes in the weather, and it is be-
coming every day more and more ag'
ricultural. What connection it had
with the army-which consists prin'
cipally in the appointment Of some
officer to manage it, and in the OBJ.
servance of a silly military etiquette
-interfered seriously with the opera
tions of the bureau. The change will
enable the service to do much better
work than hitherto, and with more
liberal appropriations from Congress
it ought to be an even greater benefit
to the agricultural classes Of the
country than it has been.

was amended, and the people had
spoken in favor OF it, that paper
justly ceased its opposition and gave
the experiment the benefit OF its
moral help. Now that the work has
proven successful, and that an effort
is made to interpose new difficulties,
that paper meets the obstructionlsts
with arguments that ARE incorHrc'
vertible. 1t says:
The people OF California, with the
welfare of their schools in view, and
admonished by the Importance OF
those schools to the State, have seen
fit to adopt an amendment to the
Constitution which makes the State
supply school-books at greatly less
cost than they bore before. A
quarter of a million has been spent
in the printing plant that shall pub
lish the books. Now let us have
faithful administration OF the sub
iect. Let no officers prejudices
stand in the way. Teachers endorse
the excellence OF the series ol
books, as far as printed, and, dis
tributed as the law intends, they
reach the people to relieve them o.
a burden which has really beer
a bar to education. Those who
admit the wrong done by fre
quent change and extortionate price
OF textbooks under the old system
and at the same time deny the pro
priety of reforming it by this method
which the people have provided, have
no. right to antagonize it by Other
plans, which might have been usefu
| ii put in. operation before tue field
was occupied by the amendment te
the constitution. One thing IS GER
tain, no theorizing can nullify IN pop
ular favor the greater cheapness o.
the State school books. The parent
who used to buy 500 worth OF school
books each term, now buys for ~
books which do as we'll, and his
pocket will be absolutely insenslble
to arguments against the system
which saves him SIS. When the per-
centage OF saving is carried into the
otal annual expenditure for school
books it is SO large an economy as to
stand in impregnable defense OF the
means by which it is secured.
This is the whole thing in nut
shell. The State now enables par
ents to get $5 worth OF books for
what it required $40 to buy before.
1t is measure of direct economy tc
every father of family in the State,
and this alone, if nothing else, will
be the justification to the people oi
the States new school.book depart.

REPUBLICAN papers throughout the
country have abused tie President
and the Democratic party because
they have defeated the Dependent
Pension bill. The veto OF Mr.. Cleve-
land was sustained by the House by
an overwhelming vote. The argu-
ments used by the Republican papers
in supporting the Dependent Pension
bill showed clearly that they were
urged solely on political purposes, to
be used should the proper occasion
offer as issues against the President.
Few, if any, of these papers approve
the bill, yet they urged Congress to
pass it. Here is sample statement
from the Minneapolis Tribune: eve
would prefer to see better guarded
bill, but if Congress will risk it, the
public can stand it," This is very
statesmanlike view to take OF meas
ure. The word "risk" is we'll used
Congress was urged to take leap IL
the dark, to vote away no one knows
how much money without inquiry
without investigation. Had not thu
Dependent Pension bill been defeated
there is no limit to the madness tina
Congress would have been guilty OF
for the rule would have then been es
tablished that each Congress should
grant something more in the way O
pensions than it's predecessors. The
bill in itself would have cost millions
of dollars, and in the encouragement
it gave to Congress to be wasteful and
spendthrift in the matter of pensions
many million dollars more. 1t is
gratifying, therefore, to see this dan
gerous tendency checked, to see that
there are enough members of the
House, backed by presidential veto,
to defeat these pension raids.

Fred Hr1ton,s Engagement.

Mr.. Bryton, who appears at the Opera
House next Tuesday evening, receives this
high compliment from the New Hork
Graphic: There is a purity in the whole
conception Of the play which at once wins
the hearts Of the audience. The details
are worked out and the situations arrived
at with a natural simplicity which gives e
most pleasing air Of originality. Mi. Bry-
ton, handsome 80 ever, was enthusiastic.
ally greeted as he came on the stagein his
own natural way. There is a genuine
airiness in his acting, which at once
banishes all thought Of the green room,
and in a moment the spectator is uncon.
sciously led hand in hand with John Dia-
mond throughout all his troubles. MIR.
Bryton reaches an intense pitch Of pathos
without effort, and by natural degrees so
that there is no strain whatever, and the
sympathies Of his audience are magueti-
cally impelled in the same direction, as
was abuntantly ehown by the numerous
spontaneous outburats Of applause last
night.

Another Gambling Room Naided,

About 10 o'clock last night another
gambling room wss raided by the police.
It was tho one conducted by George
Henry over Yank Sullivan's saloon on
Jacob street below T%hirty-third, in ths
Eighth ward. The officers making the
pull were Hanshumaker and Brinkman.
The proprietor was found enjoying q game
with three kindred spirits. Ali four put
up the collateral for their appearances at
Police Court this morning. Their names
were the only ones on the blotter at head
quarters at midnight. OF late there has
been considerable badness atloat in tho
Eighth ward and it is hoped that Last
nights raid may be but an indication Of q
further stirring up. The sudden activity
that has seized The force makes it very un-
certain where the lightning will 0triks
next, and the result is that the "fancy ele-
ment" is beginning to keep very shady.
